Re: New Bracketology

Fun that we're in the discussion, but we have a lot of games to play. We need to get through the non conference with no more than 2 losses or we'll be stuck with a crappy seed even with a good Big 12 showing.

Does seem a little strange — but his August bracket also listed ISU as "Last four in" (and L4I/FFO are same on both lists). So either he didn't update the bubble teams, or he was off on his initial seeding for ISU (perhaps others, too?)

Yeah I guesses those are both possibilities. Pre season rankings are worthless anyways

Re: New Bracketology

Lunardi loves him some Big 10, and for the most part he doesn't throw a ton of respect ISU's way. He got a LOT of flack last year from ISU fans when he predicted they weren't even a tournament team.

Are you possibly confusing Lunardi with Jerry Palm from CBSSportsline.com? Palm is the one whom I remember from last season not giving us much respect while simultaneously predicting that Northwestern would make it into the tournament.

JohnnyFive is likely confusing it with Palm — I think Lunardi had ISU in near-lock area after win @KSU; Palm still had it in bubble range.

I agree. I don't know why they don't just seed everyone with the bottom 8 rated teams as 16 seeds that have to play in against each other. It would actually give those teams a little excitement because they would actually have a realistic chance of winning a game before becoming the sacrificial lamb for the #1 seeds.
